1951 Ford F1
AWESOME BARN FIND, ORIGINAL STEEL, SMALL BLOCK V8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION! This is a super cool truck with a real patina, all original steel, minimal rust, automatic upgrade and newly serviced brakes. This is quite the find for someone who values the originality but also appreciates the ease of the V8 automatic.
COSMETIC
- Paint/Body: What a cool old farm truck with a real patina! Rare barn find is actually really clean with just a few small rust areas consistent around the body. All original steel. Rockers and bottom of doors are in good shape. Solid cab corners with just a little surface rust. Overall a straight body!

- Glass/Windows: All windows replaced with new windows and seals.
- Trunk/Bed: She has a nice bed with minimal wear and tear for the age. New plywood board looks nice and can easily be taken in and out with just a couple of screws. Consistent surface rust around the bed but nothing significant. Original wood panels underneath with what seems to be all original panels.
- Undercarriage: This is a impressive underneath with all original floor pans, step sides, running boards that are in good condition with minimal rust. Really solid underneath. No significant wholes or patches. No rust on the frame.

MECHANICAL
Drivetrain: Some time ago a previous owner put in a small block Chevrolet V8 with an automatic transmission. She has a new carburetor. Fires right up and runs straight and strong. The automatic transmission shifts through all gears smoothly. Little bit of play in the wheel but she steers easily and does not pull to either direction.
- Lights/Electrical: Headlights, taillights, brake lights are all New and functional. All of the gauges are new and functional.
- Brakes: The brakes were just serviced. New brake lines installed. She stops straight and strong.
- Fires right up and runs straight and strong. The automatic transmission shifts through all gears smoothly. Little bit of play in the steering wheel but she steers easily and does not pull to either direction.
- Full New Electrical system with new harness and new battery
- New All Aluminum radiator and overflow
- All New Indicators and brake sensor lights.
Great project vehicle.
